I just wanted to show you all some of my latest work. These are bears for the show although anything that I don't sell at the show I will put up on my website for sale.

First is Baby. She is felted in gorgeous hand dyed wool in shades of blue. She was made to fit this gorgeous crochet set made for me by a friend in the US. She comes with her own little cane pram, so sweet with curved steel handles and cushions etc.

Next you can see Cherub, felted in white corriedale with silk noil in magenta. I also felted her magenta parts in matching corriedale wool. She has a lovely big nose and real feather wings.

Nugget is felted in hand mixed wools in mustard, lemon and white. He is one of my Handful of Bling range of bears. These bears all have jewels either embedded in their bellies or worn around their necks. Nugget has a lovely traditional bear look to him, such a sweet face. He wears a gorgeous cubics gem with real 14k plated yellow gold.

Ping is a teeny fellow made to fit this porcelain egg box. He was felted in colours as close to those painted on the box as I could get. With his little good luck charm and his sweet face I am sure he will bring joy to his new owner.Lastly we have another of my Bling bears. This is Shimmer. He is felted in gorgeous hand dyed wools in multiple shades, such a neat finish this gives him. He also has a sweet, more traditional face and he wears a lovely flower gem in his belly.
